Is there any effect of changing the duty cycle of a 555 timer to be greater than 50% to drive a counter? (74163 4 bit binary counter)
e.g.
using a 555 timer with a 1Hz frequency and a 50% duty cycle to drive counter.
Change this to
75% duty cycle @ 1Hz.
Would there be any difference in the count sequence.? My opinion is that there should be no change as it is the frequency that determines the count speed. If this is the case why bother using 50% duty?
Cheers
